"I was very proud of our guys, but I'm not proud of the NBA"

I wish he'd stop running his mouth so often...and his ongoing complaint about refs is getting really old and stale...his team should focus on the things that they can control on the court and not even think about the refs...it's one of my favorite things about the Spurs/Pop...whether the criticisms are valid or not, indulging in them allows you to deflect responsibilities for your own play...and that gets in the way of improving...

To be fair, he doesn't complain all the time, only when the Mavericks lose.

The one foul I would give to the Mavs as an understandable gripe would be the one where, I think it was Butler, dunked it and ran into Hill on the way down. That was a bull call.

I can see both sides, but it was called because Caron's forearm/elbow went up towards Hill's upper chest/throat area, Hill did exaggerate a little. It's similar to JJ's pick foul where he did the same movement. I think they were good calls, easily avoidable by Mavs.

So awesome, Parker's face looks like it was there originally.

Considering the refs looked the other way on Dirk the entire second half, I'm not sure what Pubes has to complain about.

God Cuban is such a cry baby loser, I'd be ashamed to have him as a coach after some of the things he says and does. No doubt he cares and wants whats best for his team but he's just so clueless sometimes.

While the contacting level was raised so high, it seemed Dirk was the only exception and had collected 4 personal fouls by the 2nd quarter. Yes they were truthfully fouls Dirk did, but how did the refs manage to overlook the thousands of other contacts which were even more harsh yet ignored?

because the officials are willing to let some contact go when it's in the post (and honestly, it's just harder to see in there) and when the defensive players are in good position. if this wasn't the case, erick dampier's career high for minutes played without fouling out would be 7.

dirk made the calls way too easy by being out of position, using his hands/arms, or committing his fouls out in open space.
